What’s new in Apollo - Sticky Full Width HTML5 Audio Player 3.6.3
Version 3.6.3 · May 2, 2023
Latest
What it does
Most embedded audio players vanish as soon as a visitor scrolls past them, so playback controls get lost. This plugin solves that with a sticky mode that keeps the player visible as people move down the page or browse the site. A popup playback window is also available, so music can keep playing in a separate window while visitors open menus or visit other sections. If you prefer a classic layout, a standard inline mode places the player inside your page content.
The player fills the full width of its parent container and resizes to fit any screen. You can pick from black and white skins or set your own colors to match your site design. For a visual touch, it can show a vinyl record animation or an artist image next to the audio. HTML, CSS, JS and PSD files are included, which gives designers and developers room to adjust the look and fit it into their own projects.
Best for
- Podcasters who want episodes playing while listeners browse
- Musicians and bands sharing tracks on their websites
- Creative sites that feature music or audio content
